All three employees had their hands bound, their throats slit and were left in a
restaurant freezer. Jennings and Graves were both former employees of the restaurant. The pair also stole $6,000 and fled to Las Vegas where they were later captured.

In 1996, Jennings was convicted of three counts of first-degree murder and one count of
robbery with a deadly weapon. He was sentenced to three death sentences for the murders and 15 years in prison for the robbery charge. Graves is serving three life sentences for the murders plus the 15 years for robbery.
